New Non-Adictive Opioid-Bu08028

So the DEA comes out and is going to eliminate Kratom, which has what sounds like the same properties of this new compound, BU08028. I wonder what this new compound is a synthesis of?

While the opioid epidemic continues kill more than 40 Americans every day, researchers
and health experts are frantically searching for ways to curtail use of the highly
addictive, pain-quenching drugs. In March, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention even released new guidelines directing doctors to simply refrain from
prescribing opioids. But if a new study holds up, the health agency may be able to
reverse course.

According to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an
opioid drug referred to as BU08028 was able to alleviate pain in a dozen monkeys just
as well as other opioid painkillers, such as morphine. Yet, unlike every other opioid
drug, BU08028 showed no signs of being addictive. Even at high dose—at which other
opioid drugs inhibit the respiratory and cardiovascular system, which can be
fatal—BU08028 was harmless.

"Based on our research, this compound has almost zero abuse potential and provides
safe and effective pain relief," Mei-Chuan Ko, a professor of physiology and
pharmacology at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and lead author of the study, said
in a statement. "This is a breakthrough for opioid medicinal chemistry that we hope
in the future will translate into new and safer, non-addictive pain medications."

Yeah give it time im sure there are other detrimental long term effects from this drug that will make it just as bad as previous version of big pharms poisons.

I'm so sick of the DEA and congress and whomever making whoopee around with pain meds! They're not the ones in pain and think because so many are OD on H that pain meds need to be taken away...... GRRRR this subject ticks me off big time

"In pain experiments, which involved dipping monkeys' tails into hot water" new meaning to "watch your tail"

patients line up at the pharmacy for those synthetic creations. I always see a line at the drug aisle, or people sitting and waiting in an Rx wait area. they cant get enough of them. for the love of drugs these are the most coveted by the masses it seems.  Addiction or efficacy
